DOOR-CHECK.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent VNo. 249,761, dated November 22, 1881.

Application filed September 7,1881.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES HAssINGER, ofPIymouth,in thecountyofWayne, Michigan, have invented an Improvement in Door-Stops, of which the following is a specification.

The nature ot this invention relates t0 new improvements in the con struction of door-stops of that class designed to hold the door open; and the'invention consists in the peculiar construction and arrangement ofthe parts, all as more fully hereinafter set forth and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification, my invention is shown in Figure l,in perspective, as applied to a door, and in Fig. 2 a detached and enlarged view.

A represents a suitable plate, designed to be secured to the floor by means ofscrews a. This plate is provided upon one side or edge with a l1ookprojection, I), andthe studs c. v

B is a bail, the bend ot' which is designed to engage with the hook-projection band toloosely turn in the sa1ne.

In practice, Where the bottom of the door (No model.)

swings sufciently above the floor, the plate A is screwed to the floor at the point it is desired to hold the door open, the bail B being raised, so that one arm will be upon each side ofthe door, the bail resting upon the studs c, which prevent it from falling back upon the floor. When it is desired to close the door the bail is tipped back, so that it will rest upon theoor in theposition shownin dotted outlines. Where the door swings too close to the floor to admit of the above arrangement, the device may be placed so that the corner ot' the door will clear the plate in being opened or closed, and still the bail will engage with the edge of the door when it is raised up.

What I claim as my invention is- In a door-stop, the plate A, providedwith lugs c, and the bail B, pivoted to the plate A, and adapted to. rest against the lugs c, substantially as and i'or the purpose specified.

CHARLES HASSINGER.
